The Michigan state legislatures should have cracked down on the massive ballot fraud in Detroit in 2016.
Still, its better late then never I guess.

Will Biden be referred to as President Elect in the future or will it revert back to Vice President?

Every Republican State legislator who allowed this to happen will be held accountable by the voters the next primary.

The elections is in the hands of the state legislature(s). The Guv’s have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Each state legislature has complete authority here. Complete.

They need to REALLY know that.

Trump’s rallies will remind them that they will answer for their decisions one way or another.

The MSM wanted so badly to celebrate the defeat of Trump they could not wait until after the court battles, so they had a bash over the weekend. The hangover begins today.....

Any Incumbent Republican candidate who runs, must answer the first question, “What did you do to help Trump?” And if the answer isn’t satisfactory, vote their ass out and replace them with a MAGA Candidate.

Their constituents need to make that REALLY clear.

I’m sure they’re getting a lot of calls or emails.

OK so they hold their hearings. Then what? Does the legislature have the power to overturn existing law on how electors are allocated and allocate the presidential electors on their own? Or would it require legislation that the governor would immediately veto?
